+
+#### cbm - display in real time the network traffic speed
+
+## Help this project ##
+
+CBM needs your help. **If you are a programmer** and if you wants to help a
+nice project, this is your opportunity.
+
+CBM was imported from some tarballs from Debian Project[1].
+After this, all patches found in Debian project and other places for this program
+were applied. All initial work was registered in ChangeLog file (version 0.2 and
+later releases). CBM is packaged in Debian[2] Project.
+

+
+## What is CBM? ##
+
+The Color Bandwidth Meter (CBM) is a small program to display the traffic
+currently flowing through the network devices in a simple curses-based GUI.
+The traffic for all interfaces include values as receive, transfer and total
+Bytes/s or bits/s (or its multiples as KB/s and Kb/s).
+
+It is useful for Internet or LAN speed tests, measuring the velocity of a
+link, to establish a benchmark or to monitor your connections. CBM can be
+used with virtual, wired or wireless networks.
+
+Nowadays, CBM is maintained by volunteers.
+
+## Build and Install ##
+
+CBM depends of libncurses to build.
+
+To build and install, run the following commands:
+
+    $ ./autogen.sh
+    $ ./configure
+    $ make
+    # make install
+
+To return to original source code, you can use '$ make distclean' command.
+
+On Debian systems you can use '# apt install cbm'.
